Elise Durenberger

Elise has been passionately paper crafting since the incubation of her second child, and has yet to see the passion wane.  With a lifetime of creative experience fueling her excitement, a degree in Art Studio, and a clause in her marital contract that clearly states "will always need to acquire art materials, and must be allowed to explore any and all artistic curiosity and experience befitting, said artist/bride to be...", she is all about artistic freedom! And don't worry, her father was sure to warn her then fiance about the seriousness of that commitment.

Honoring said clause, she is joyfully married, and the mother of two darling, but growing up way too fast children, living her dream of "Ranch life" in Northern California. With 5 horses, four dogs, two cats, and a 95 year old Great Granny, she turns to paper crafting to keep her sane! Just like her contagiously uplifting spirit, you'll find her style to be fun, playful, and inspiring.

"Participating in the blog movement has been an enormous boom to me creatively. But even more importantly, personally. I have met and bonded with so many wonderful, talented and darling paper crafting folks, all of whom I cherish with the intimacy of "real life" relationships. One day, I plan to have a huge paper crafting party and invite all-o-you!  But for now, I'll just do the best I can to offer some creative mojo and inspiration with Wplus9 Design Studio's unique and wonderful images. What a fun and wild ride!  Yee Haw!" ~ Elise
